The Simpsons

Bart Gets Famous - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Homer is shouting at Skinner about losing Bart, if you look closely you can see that the box with the red cap goes past Homer. However, when he turns round and sees that red cap on a box, that box has already gone by.

Rosebud - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: When we see people digging Bobo out of the ice, they put him in a bag. If you look carefully you can see another Bobo put in another bag just before the shot changes.

Homer Goes to College - S5-E3

Audio problem: When Homer is talking to the family about their complaints about the nerds, he says something that ends in "where we can all live in harmony". When he says this the audio does not match his mouth movements.

The Great Money Caper - S12-E7

Continuity mistake: When they are driving home Marge starts to moan at the children to quiet down. In this shot she has no lipstick. In the next shot from outside the car she has lipstick on and has it for the rest of the scene.

The Front - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When Homer tells Bart that he didn't graduate in high school, you see a small window in the back door with a light blue sky seen through it, indicating that it is day time. However when Grandpa comes to the door, it is night time.

The Springfield Files - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: When the 'alien' is seen on the news, it is shown on the film Bart made coming out of the trees, but earlier on, when the alien came out of the woods, Bart is seen not holding the video camera.

Lisa's First Word - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: When the flashback of Ned and Todd Flanders singing in the Simpsons' doorway, Homer says he could use a TV tray. Then it goes back to the present time and Homer picks up a beer from the TV tray which is next to the couch. The TV tray was never there at any other point in the show. (00:10:40)

I Married Marge - S3-E12

Other mistake: When Marge sees the letter from Homer, she says "You won't see me again until I'm a man." On the paper though, it reads 'But you will not see me-' and the sentence is cut off, and the rest of the paper is blank. (00:16:10)

Yoshi

The Cartridge Family - S9-E5

TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield. It's all here: fast kicking, low scoring. And ties? You bet.
Bart: Hey Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Arriaga, Arriaga II, Barriaga, Aruglia, and Pizzozza.
Homer: Oh, I've never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs.
Homer: Woohoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is the greatest on Earth. Mexico or Portugal.

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
